Salvia (Garden Sage)
Color Name: Sweet Petite®
This compact Salvia is absolutely packed with large, lavender pink flowers with near red, dark rose buds.
The word fashionista is often used to describe someone who is constantly on the cutting edge of beauty, representing current fashion trends. Likewise, Sweet Petite represents the cutting edge of perennial fashion, with big, bold blooms in chic shades of lavender pink. Sweet Petite is a salvia pratensis hybrid, so you know you can expect excellent garden performance.
Salvia is a staple item for every sunny garden. It asks little more than sunshine and a little drink every once in a while in return for producing a bountiful mass of colorful flower spires from late spring into early summer. It forms an upright clump of aromatic, rugose green foliage that looks nice all season long and is not enjoyed by rabbits or deer.
Growing Tips: Salvia is easy to grow in almost any climate. Though it is drought tolerant, it will bloom better with regular watering. Deadheading encourages a longer bloom time. If plants get leggy during the season, cut them all the way back to the newly developed foliage. If cut back, plants may rebloom in fall but often the flowers are fewer and smaller.
